Do you use line data with a PAGEDEF for the job needing OMR marks, or is is
fully-composed AFP? Are the OMR marks the same for every document? Are they
on the first page, last page or each page? 

Static marks are the simplest. The marks themselves can be produced with
lines (underscores, text drawrule commands, GOCA graphics or image). You
need to check with the inserter vendor for specs of thickness, position,
length and spacing.

The easiest way to insert static marks is to create an overlay containing
nothing but the marks in the correct position. If you can change the
application, insert some indicator that can be used by the PAGEDEF to insert
the overlay.

Variable marks require either modifying the application to insert something
on each page that, for example, a PAGEDEF could use to call an overlay (see
Overlay Variable in the PRINTLINE or LAYOUT).

There are many other ways to insert OMR marks. The best choice depends on
your application. With more information I might be able to provide a sample
application.
